More In This Section
The role of Statutory Planning is to provide information and advice about the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme and to decide whether or not to grant a planning permit for a new use or development proposal within the city of Greater Shepparton.
The Strategic planners form part of the Councils Planning and Development Department and are responsible for the development of strategies, policies and frameworks which aim to ensure that planning, investment and decision making is relevant to the needs of the community and provides a sustainable base for future generations.
Planning Schemes are designed to regulate use, development and protect native vegetation. A planning scheme is a law that regulates the way land can be used and developed. It is the Councils responsibility by law to enforce the Greater Shepparton Planning Scheme.
